The Bizarre Adventures of the Oil Man, but Starting with Warhammer 32K

Keldos concluded that the sudden increase in the soldiers' shooting accuracy was due to the mechanical priest. He wanted to rush over and chop the priest into pieces, but the layers of undead soldiers blocking him made it impossible for him to do anything.

He was a warlord, a master of many warrior arts, and the commander of the Eldar warriors. But that was all.

He was not the Chosen One of Khorne, and he had no natural resistance to ranged attacks. In the face of such firepower, his endlessly tested martial arts could only protect him from harm; anything else he hoped to achieve was a fantasy.

Not to mention getting rid of the mechanical priest, they didn't even destroy many tanks.

The slowdown caused by the protective properties of the power armor became the foreshadowing of their predicament. As Kaeldos slashed through the barrel of another tank with his sword, he heard the sad news from his soldiers.

"Si Zhan! We can't hold on any longer!"

Before he could finish his words, another storm of steel spikes struck. The assault scorpion reporting to him twitched and fell under the hail of bullets, its soul stone rolling to the ground.

Keldos knew he couldn't hold on any longer.

"Retreat! Everyone retreat!"

He roared, pushing back the human soldiers who were approaching him. He rushed to the nearest wounded soldier, trying to pull him up, but found that the Eldar warrior's legs had been pierced by more than a dozen steel nails and he couldn't stand up at all.

"Walk……"

The wounded man took off the soul stones he had collected with great difficulty and stuffed them into the hands of the warlord: "Take it back to the Ark..."

Keldos nearly broke his teeth. He looked up and saw that there were more soul stones scattered, and he was unable to recover them.

A feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, he and his soldiers were not the only ones here. In the moment he hesitated, a dazzling psychic light suddenly exploded behind him.

"Lower your head!"

He heard the Prophet shout.

Isram's psychic shockwave swept across the battlefield like a tsunami, blowing away all humans within a thirty-meter radius.

Keldos took the opportunity to rush out and wanted to use this opportunity to retrieve the soul stone, but Isram grabbed him.

"It's too late to collect soul stones! Go, now!"

The Eldar warriors followed the two of them and retreated from the battlefield in a panic.

Their speed was too fast for humans to keep up. Mercado didn't order a pursuit. Instead, he demanded, "Stop shooting. Count the casualties and recover the enemy's equipment, especially those small, glowing stones."

Renault squatted down and picked up a blood-stained soul stone. He seemed to hear a wail from within that was not human.

"Won……"

He was deeply shocked by the victory.

The same is true for the Eldar.

When Keldos was taken away from the battlefield by Isram and finally had a chance to breathe, the powerlessness in his heart turned into anger.

Looking at the survivors, almost all of whom were injured, he roared: "They must pay this blood debt a hundredfold!"

“We have to be more focused on the present.”

Isram responded.

Keldos turned around, wanting to question the prophet's cold-bloodedness. How could they turn a blind eye to the fact that their compatriots' souls were in the other's hands?

But when he saw Isram's pale face, his words of rebuke were stuck in his throat.

Unlike their corrupted cousins, the Ark Eldar did not give up psychic powers. However, as a race destined for Slaanesh, even with the Soul Stone as a guarantee, the risks of using psychic powers were much greater than those of other races.

They usually only use their powerful psychic powers in non-direct combat to avoid such risks, but the situation was urgent and there was no room for hesitation. Isram could only take the risk to rescue them.

"Don't be stubborn, Keldos. We even planned an ambush and ended up like this. We have to admit that those monkeys... humans are indeed extraordinary."

"That's because they have the help of those priests."

Keldos retorted: "If we can get rid of that priest first..."

"Don't forget, their Monkai hasn't been deployed yet."

Si Zhan fell silent, realizing that if the Astartes were included, they really would have no way to deal with this group of humans.

Every Eldar warrior was a skilled warrior capable of defeating a hundred enemies at once, and they had fought against the Astra Militarum before. Back then, they were unstoppable, with only a hundred men able to defeat an Astra Militarum force of over ten thousand.

But now?

They faced an undead army of only 5,000 men, and even chose to launch a surprise attack. However, they were trapped, surrounded, and completely routed by them!

Just like Mercado guarding the Terra Palace, Keldos can prove that he can defeat his opponents by setting various special conditions, showing that he can still win big.

But no matter what the conditions are, it is definitely not on the front battlefield.

These armed mortals have become opponents that they are afraid of.

"Do you want to retreat?"

He asked unwillingly.

"It's not a retreat, it's an advance."

Isram corrected him.

He scanned the battlefield and confirmed that more than thirty tanks had been damaged in the battle.

"Destroying 30% of the armor is enough to relieve the pressure on the front lines. We can retreat to the ruins, use them to avoid direct confrontation, and engage in a blocking battle. This will also give us a good opportunity to see what these humans are planning."

Keldos was convinced that these wounded warriors did need some time to recuperate.

"Let's withdraw!"

The figures of the elves hid in the jungle and soon disappeared.

-

Shortly after the attack, Leon received news of the Undead Army's great victory.

"The Eldar actually dared to launch a sneak attack?"

He was surprised by this: "Can they really not see the difference in strength at all?"

In any case, he used the excuse of having to inspect the front lines to leave all his official duties to Urquidex, and he himself rushed to the scene of the incident as quickly as possible on the Thunderhawk gunboat.

The Undead Army had just finished their repairs. About three hundred dead and wounded were transferred to the camp for treatment, and the rest continued to move forward.

Mercado and Renault greeted Leon who arrived.

"What happened just now?"

Leon asked.

"We have compiled the recorded images inside the power armor. You can check them out at any time."

Leon took the disk from Mercado and began reading it. He glanced at the footage of the Eldar's sneak attack from beginning to end, and understood most of it.

"The Ranger fired a cold shot first, then the Assault Scorpion joined the battlefield. It was a standard lightly armed Eldar raid..."

This Eldar warrior unit seemed to lack heavy and anti-vehicle firepower, so they wanted to use this method to destroy the tanks and relieve the subsequent pressure.

They tried very hard, but such efforts seemed futile to Leon.

The only thing that concerned Leon was that the prophet used psychic shock to save the situation in the end.

"A character with this kind of psychic power is no ordinary character. And although there aren't many of them, their system combinations are very complete."

There are many paths among the Eldar, but the most profound of them all must be led by a faction known as the Phoenix Lord.

They are the founders of a particular warrior path and the ones who have gone furthest in fulfilling that destiny.

The Eldar warriors who follow them accept their moral code, receive their training, serve their shrines, and ultimately, in their name, become one with the Way.

This is true for the Assault Scorpions and the Howling Banshees. However, it's worth noting that these shrine members have a strong sense of autonomy, and often they don't even clearly identify which Ark they belong to. They are loyal only to the shrine.

Although the shrine itself is not non-sectarian, as an old saying in ancient Terra goes: Science has no borders, but scientists have their origins.

Phoenix Lords all have their own Ark of origin, which makes them delicate and sensitive when setting up shrines and spreading factions in Arks other than their own.

Yes, even at the end of their rope, the bean sprouts from different Arks still didn't unite. There was no need to compare the differences between the Savage, Dark, and Arks. The friction within the Arks alone was already worse than that of the scattered empires of humanity.

Leon didn't know where these Ark Eldar came from, but the fact that they had warriors from two tribes was enough to show how extraordinary this group of Eldar was. Even if they came from a small Ark, they must have some connection to the famous large Arks.

This is not good news, but Leon can see some other clues from their configuration.

"They chose warriors who were good at fighting and infiltration, and their main force was composed entirely of warriors from rare tribes among the Eldar..."

Li Ang tapped his head, feeling that he had grasped the idea: "What are they looking for, or who are they chasing?"

These Ark Eldar must be hunting down some special target, which is why they sent out this elite force.

They had not expected to encounter a heavily armored force like Leon's, and they probably wouldn't consider increasing their presence on this planet.

Li Ang felt that he should not have to worry about a head-on confrontation with the Ark Eldar's large army.

But on the contrary, he was very curious about who the Eldar were hunting.

The answer lies in the ruins.

"Speed ​​up the process. I want to see what these elves are up to."

Mercado accepted the order and led the troops forward. Renault showed Leon a crystal.

"Soul Stone?"

Leon discovered that this was the thing he ordered Mercado to collect.

It seemed that those elves had indeed lost miserably, and they didn't even have time to recover their soul stones.

"Soul Stone? I don't know what this is. I'm just a little curious."

Renault asked carefully: "The forty-five pointed-eared creatures we left behind all had this thing on them. And when I hold it in my hand, I can feel a strange emotion. What exactly is it?"

"It's just a battery that needs to be smoked. If you can collect more, maybe you can get one soon."

Renault didn't know what this meant, but he could feel a sense of resentment coming from the soul stone.

Li Ang took the soul stone from him and said, "Not only you, but his companions will also soon see their 'wonderful use'."

PS: I will make up this chapter tomorrow. I may need to take a day off tomorrow, and I may also need to take a day off the day after tomorrow depending on the situation.

Reason for leave:

Super Shanghai stands firm!

Chapter 255 Inventor: Li Ang Invention Project: Soul Stone Shield Generator.

Li Ang did not return. He used local materials and began to improve a simple shield generating device using the original version.

He already had the technology to use soul stones to provide shields for the warriors present. The soul stones that Vashtor promised him were unlimited and could be used as a credit card.

However, Leon couldn't be present all the time. He had to create a medium so that other warriors could also enjoy this technology when he was not there.

Other Eldar soul stones can play this role.

The Protoss-based energy shield was something he already had. He had previously only used energy batteries for this shield function, and the one he ended up with was an incomplete version with extremely high energy consumption.

But now, as long as he adds the soul stones of the Eldar and mixes the psychic energy into the shield, he can create a real energy shield generator.

The resistance of the Eldar within the Soul Stone was of no avail. Leon expertly inserted the Soul Stone into the core slot of the shield generator, and psychic light immediately began to flow through the device.

This eliminates the need to consume vast amounts of energy or solely consume psychic energy. The breakthrough of this technology lies in the fact that psychic energy and physical energy can be superimposed together, while simultaneously slowing down the consumption of both.

With the combination of the two, such a shield can withstand much more firepower than before, instead of only being able to be used to withstand critical attacks as before.

What’s more important is that you can carry it with you.

"When alive, they can be used as targets. Even after death, they can still emit light and heat. If their bodies are cremated, they might even be used as ashes for psykers. The Eldar really are full of treasures."

Li Ang weighed the shield generator in his hand and sighed, "I suddenly understand Slaanesh a little better. I wonder when I can learn from him in this regard."

Perhaps Slaanesh will jump out and shout that I, the Lord of Pleasure, have invested in this project, or perhaps she will be furious at Leon for stealing her patent for torturing the Eldar.

Li Ang didn't care about this. He just felt sorry that the elves were a non-renewable resource now, and killing one meant one less.

Even if he killed all the elves here, the soul stones he could collect would probably only be enough for one battle group.

Perhaps he should consider keeping these elves in captivity, maintaining sustainable population growth, and turning them into a recyclable resource?

Li Ang considered this idea seriously.

Somehow, the prophet Isram, who was far away in the ruins, felt an indescribable chill.
